Small weekend project...

[lincpimp]

Ok, so for everyone who wonders why I never paint rc bodies:










I shaved the antenna, and the various holes that are behind the lighning nameplates on both fenders.

Shot the black on friday night, but had to wait till today to tape up the boss style stripes. All that is done by hand and eye, just have to look at it from all angles till it looks right. I will get some finished shots when I get it out of the booth tomorrow morning. Stripe color is a blue pearl mixed with clear base, so it will change color depending on the angle the light hits it.

I would have painted the entire truck, but I figured it would take a while to get it all ready. Both bumpers and the tailgate have been painted already, so I just have the roof and bedsides to do. Going to do some small flames on the grille slats and around the tailpipes (they come out on the pass side in front of the rear wheel.

Truck is a 02 lighning if anyone wondered. Soon to have a ported blower and 16psi worth of boost. Also have some drag radials to put on, after I paint the wheels. Lookiing at the full Hotchkis suspension too...
